A couple of questions.. is that wheel smaller than the thin rimmed plastic original? With that the steering is Jag light and really suits the car.

And can you get the period Rostyle wheels? The current ones undersell the stance of the car.

And what a treat to see one in use... they are so smooth and easy to drive, cruise and generally potter about in. Lots of memories of motorway cruising between Oxford and London.....in the back seat thinking we were the coolest kids...

Thank you. The steering is slightly thicker than original. Yeh...nice light steering. The Rostyle wheels are hard to find here, but pop every now and then. So when I see a set I'll grab them.

Only thing I'd change is loose the whitewalls, but that's just me.
VERY cool car you've got there. I didn't know the suspension was so different and INBOARD disc brakes in back!

Interesting, They did sell them in the US for years. Rover.
Aluminum Buick V8.

Friends father had one.

That's not the gangster's car. that's what the police chased them in.

P6 was my first car. I’m jealous.

Went on a British car spree and bought this as well. 1976 triumph Dolomite 1850. Needs to a be couple of inches closer to Terra Firma, then it will look cool.

They actually did sell the Rover 3500 in America when they were current. Not many of them but they were available in the USA. I remember the road tests in domestic car magazines at the time.

It of course had the 3.5 liter Buick V-8 that lived almost forever as the power plant for Range Rovers, same company and assembly lines in England. Nice looking car.

EDIT: Just saw tcar's post...he beat me to it.
